Hellebore, Hellebore
ecstasy and more
you peek through those leaves
and bring me to my knees.

@www.herladypinkrose.wordpress.com
As my words say, I was laying on the ground and at times on my knees photographing these images and as I was, the humbleness I felt, the awe that gripped my soul had my mouth hanging wide open (again). Friends, in seeing not only these Hellebore flowers but what I have planned on presenting this week, you will have no doubt in your minds that something massively shifted within me in order for me to capture Mother at the level I am presently. Tears stung my eyes as I edited these images. They were shot so perfectly and carefully that I did very little editing.
Know that what you are seeing is Miraculous. I am also learning that it makes a huge difference where my state of Mind and Heart are when I have my camera in my hands. I shot several frames of my Hellebore flowers on Saturday but because I was not flowing in complete Peace, every image I shot I deleted. I knew yesterday something was about to occur that would leave me speechless. I was not wrong. Why? I felt at Absolute Peace.
Were you able to “feel” the Allure and Sacredness Mother allowed me to photograph?
So wonderful! Thank You! Light and Love to You dear, PortiaSLB

My Connection I have with Mother I do NOT take for granted, ever! I am allowed in sometimes so deep I stumble around as though inebriated. The other day I came across 2 young people who asked me directions to a certain area of the park we were in, and I was so “out there” I could barely speak and then when I did, I didn’t make any sense. LOL Yep that’s me. When I am in Mother’s world, NOTHING else exists. ❤

That is interesting what you write and I can relate you taking photos to writing. Depending on how you feel you take photos from different perspectives or even objects. Never thought about it, but it is what you feel inside that you see outside. Amazing thought!

Yes it is amazing that the energy within us does truly effect our every thing. This is why it is critical for me to be walking right every time I write and every time I take photographs to present here on Petals. I do notice the difference when I am not walking right. And there are those times I go with a very heavy Heart with my camera to a certain place and the Magic happens to transform my heaviness to LIghtness once again. That too is Magical. 🙂

I felt it completely. Your photography is amazing art, Amy. I’m on a blogging break (only posting monthly) but stopped by for the luxury of viewing your images. I’m always inspired by you.
I have several projects in the works. One of them is finding a publisher for the picture book your photo helped give birth too. I called it The Yellow Flower but editors often change the titles I’m told. I set it aside for a good long while. It needed something that I couldn’t discover until I got of the grind of things. Hopefully it will find a good home with a publishing company that will care for it as more than a monetary adventure.

Ruth, of course I remember you! I know I am aging gracefully but I do still have my mind. (smile) I am so grateful and honored you felt the “Presence” as I did. Your words I read several times, “spoken” with wisdom and in Truth. Mother is allowing me entrance (as I keep saying) into Her world at a level that continually amazes me, stuns me, and humbles me. I am learning in order to do this, I must be walking right in order to get the “feeling” and the “depth” that is alive, portrayed in my images.
It is so good to see you back at WP! Welcome back! I hope you are well and with a Happy Heart. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

Dearest Amy.. What a Journey you are upon at this moment in time.. I came by too late to comment upon the previous posts which are now closed to comments.. But you knew I could not leave your blog without commenting upon them.
Your experience in cleansing and clearing out all the debris which has stuck within your system for so long as you had to swallow all that hurt, anger and emotion from such a young age.. I am often in awe at how our bodies react when we are aligned back in tune within our core.. Your spine being your core linking so many vibrations of suppressed emotions..
I so know how those inhuman wails and cries wrench us until we are spent and have no tears left inside Amy..,
We are who can ‘See’ these times for what they are, know that we are at last shedding the layers we have carried.. Not only within this life time.. But beyond Amy..
We are in readiness for the next phase.. And all the pain around the world we are now seeing is part of that shedding also.. As the world it’s self prepares to heal..
So too will we see the violent wrenching and anger overspill until it is spent.. and then only then will a new calm cover our Earth..
We are all of us ONE Amy.. and we are moving forward all be it appearing slowly.. But we are shifting in vibration..
Know you are not alone..
And that I send you so so much Love as you close the wounds of the past and heal..
Love and Blessings dear Friend..
Sue ❤
